WH: Moore stands tall, but Panthers edged late at Southern Maine

GORHAM, Maine – Freshman Jorja Moore (Penticton, British Columbia) turned aside 31 shots, but the University of Southern Maine used a pair of third-period goals to push past Plymouth State University, 2–0, in Little East Conference (LEC) women's ice hockey action at USM Ice Arena on Saturday afternoon.
 
Plymouth State earned an early power play just 13 seconds into the contest, but Southern Maine successfully killed it off. Moore racked up 22 saves through the first two periods to keep the game scoreless, but the Huskies finally broke through five minutes into the third. USM later added an insurance tally with under eight minutes remaining to seal the win.
 
Plymouth State falls to 2-5-0 (0-5-0 LEC), while Southern Maine improves to 3-4-0 (3-2-0 LEC).
